The stories are witty fast-paced urban fantasies with dialogue seemligly drawn from 1930s film comedies. Connie Willis writes in her preface: STALKING THE ZOMBIE is the fun, funny, tall-tale telling Mike at his cutting-loose best. It's inventive, satiric, fast-paced, a roller-coaster ride of a book. And you're going to have a whale--oops, pink elephant---of a time reading it!
